  13. Diocese of Lincoln takes 'severe hit' over Covid pandemicpublished at 13:29 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2021

    The number of vicars in Lincolnshire could be cut due to financial challenges faced by the Diocese of Lincoln, including the coronavirus pandemic, the acting Bishop of Lincoln has warned.

    Church

    The Rt Revd Dr David Court, who's also the Bishop of Grimsby, says the church needs to be "creative" in how it approaches the current situation.

    The Diocese of Lincoln cannot continue to afford the number of vicars it currently has and the coronavirus pandemic has also hit its finances, he says

    Job roles will also be under review, he adds.

    Quote Message

    Like lots of organisations, we've taken quite a severe hit locally. Collections are down and churches have not been able to hold fetes and fairs over the last year. So that has - and will have - a big impact."

    Rt Revd Dr David Court, Acting Bishop of Lincoln
